Ah, I remember when Charlotte Church was just another normal teenager with six hit albums and a talk show. Oh, right, that was like last year. So now the unmarried, formerly chain-smoking chanteuse has announced that she is pregnant, just a few days after her 21st birthday. The daddy is her boyfriend, rugby star Gavin Henson (and if you live anywhere west of the Atlantic Ocean, no, you've never heard of him, and you may also have never heard of rugby, and that's okay). The British tabs have been on bump-watch ever since Charlotte chose not to drink alcohol at her birthday celebration, and today she released this message on her website:

A message from Charlotte’s management: Charlotte has asked us to bring you the news exclusively today via CharlotteChurch.com that she is pregnant. For reasons of privacy, Charlotte has chosen not to comment on this matter, other than to confirm that she and her boyfriend, Gavin Henson, are delighted. In an ideal world, we would not have made this announcement so early in the pregnancy. However, due to recent speculation and persistent questions from the media about this most private of matters, Charlotte felt she had no choice other than to go public and she was keen to ensure that her fans had the opportunity to read the truth here first.

Congratulations, Britney Charlotte! Here's a tip: when you split up with this Gavin character, please, stay far away from Paris Hilton, and keep your panties on.
